Locking and unlocking

Use your key on the driver's door pillar to lock or unlock the vehicle.

Using the key reader

You can use any of your keys to lock or unlock the vehicle by putting the key on the NFC1 reader in the door pillar.

Make sure the card or device is laid flat against the reader. If you're using a key tag, the Volvo logo should be facing towards you.

Using the button panels inside the vehicle

You can lock or unlock your vehicle from inside using the buttons on the armrest between the front seats. The lock and unlock symbols are visible on the buttons.

Emergency unlock

In the event of a collision, the vehicle will automatically unlock. If the damage to the vehicle is minor, the vehicle can be locked again. With significant damage to the vehicle, you will not be able to lock the vehicle again. In that case, the locking function can only be restored by Volvo technicians2.

Child lock

The child lock can increase passenger safety in the rear seats. When the child lock is active, the passengers in the rear seats are unable to open the rear doors. You can read about how to activate the child lock in a separate section of the manual.

Double pull

The rear doors are equipped with a double-pull feature to help protect against accidental opening. This means that it takes two pulls on the inner door handle to unlock and open the door from inside the vehicle.

 Warning

Volvo recommends that you do not leave people or pets in a locked vehicle. The driver is always fully responsible for the well-being and safety of anyone left inside.

Some regions have laws prohibiting people or pets being left inside a locked vehicle.
